yesterday, I was hoping Althouse would have one of these open-ended do-hickey posts, 'cause I had something to say about something, but now I find I can't remember what it was, so I guess it wasn't that important.

I love garden humor. I used to work at a gardening center and the jokes just write themselves. "Those are some cheap hoes." "Kinky hose? Not in this greenhouse! Sorry Brittany (she was a cashier)." "The only impatiens in this greenhouse is my own." Not to mention drawing faces on your fingers, plucking petunia flowers from the plants, and putting them on your fingers like little hats. It's Miss Petunia and her friends, ready for their tea party!

After the 2008 downturn, though, that all stopped. The company couldn't afford such low productivity.

Trooper always believes the best defense is a good offense. He doesn't want to explain why the Giants have had cross dressing head coaches[not that there's anything wrong w/ that] and wide receivers who shoot themselves.

Hey, Trooper, I'm ok, just working leveling the ground and getting the footings framed up for my new building. Broke a piece on the loader for my tractor, and have to fix that. The place that I used to buy steel, doesnt carry any steel anymore, only aluminium and stainless. Either I fix the old piece or travel about 30 miles to the other place. Bummer. Getting ready to make super, then on to watch the SUPER BOWL CHAMPION GREEN BAY PACKERS kick some ass!

No, not yet, Deborah. Once warm weather got here, I had to stop work on the Jeep and do outside work. Once I get my new building up, I'll work on the Jeep again. So far, I've got the frame sandblasted, primed and painted. Same with both axles, tie rod assemblies, sway bar, transmission and transfer case brace. All brakes are new. New shocks, u and ball joints, some new bearings and seals, and everything is on the chassis. Wheels too. It's painted a gloss white.

NICE!!! Instapundit referenced S.M. Stirling's new "Change" novel. In short, basically all technology stops working in 1998. This book is set a generation afterward and is probably the second to last out of six.

I knew there was a reason I liked Glen, I just couldn't put my finger on it...
